Vice President Community & CTO New Media Consortiumhttp://cogdogblog.com ...... a presentation for Learning 2.008, Shanghai, China, September 2008
Communication evolved from Lascaux drawings to text and back to images again (but much better resolution! and with Creative Commons!). Come explore concepts of Web 2.0 Storytelling (http://cogdogroo.wikispaces.com/50+Ways) and engage in some creative activities to get you thinking visually by telling a story in images only. We will see what we can create as stories from a collection of photos that conference participants submitted ahead of time and examine the processes that go into the decision making... and perhaps play a round of 5 Card Nancy.
50+ Web 2.0 Ways to Tell a Story (the quick version)
Three Steps:
Story loosely defined as any message told with more than one media type. Develop story idea... (should be something that lends itself to finding media)
Find media- must be free/licensed to use (no Google Image searching).
Choose a tool... (all must be completely web-based and free to use)
5 Card Nancy is a card game invented by cartoonist Scott McCloud where cards made up form cutting the panels of the old comic by Ernie Bushmiller are dealt and players must construct the "best" story from random bits that come from different stories. See the web version at 741.5 Comics Five-Card Nancy
Stories by Photos: Five Card Photo Stories
Ever since seeing the Five Card Nancy web site used as a group activity in creativity by Ruben Puentadora, I've thought it would be interesting to create the same activity using photos drawn from a pool of ones shared on a web site, and built the Five Card Story site in preparation for this conference http://web.nmc.org/5cardstory/
IN either case, the tool works the same- in five rounds, you are dealt 5 random photos, and you must choose one of the images to add to a series that, in the end, should tell a story only in photos. When you are done selecting the final set, you have the option to save your story, that will ultimately be part of the site's gallery of stories.

50+ Web 2.0 Ways to Tell a Story (the quick version)
Three Steps:
To learn how they worked, I managed to create the same story on all 50 tools
Not about a "best" tool, but learning how to create/communicate.

What is the story?
